SUMMARY
To determine the grams of Na2CO3 required to react with 35.6 mL of a 0.315 M HCl solution, first calculate the moles of HCl using the formula: moles = concentration (M) × volume (L). This results in 0.01119 moles of HCl. Given the reaction equation Na2CO3 + 2 HCl -> 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O, it is established that 1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl. Therefore, 0.005595 moles of Na2CO3 are needed, which translates to approximately 0.593 grams when multiplied by the molar mass of Na2CO3 (105.99 g/mol).
